2020 Intention Setting Workshop
Brooklyn witches Stefanie Caponi and Moriah Simmons have put together a beautiful evening to get to the heart of your desires and make the most of your goals as we begin a new decade.
An intention is a goal with soul--a wish you put out into the universe, and then begin to take inspired action to bring it into reality. When you take the time to tune into your heart and take the first steps, the universe will always meet you halfway, and help to make your intention come true for your highest good.
At this event, we will discuss the current astrology, the basics of intentions and energy work, the magic of the season, and how to put it all together. Then we will lead a guided meditation to help clear and focus you, followed by personal intention setting and journaling. In our sacred circle we will each share our intentions with the group, and feel each other's support. And we will all line up our next action steps towards co-creating our intention and making it reality. With focus, clarity, and support, you can create the beautiful life you desire.
If you're curious about manifestation, working with moon cycles, meditation, and spell work, this is the perfect time to get started.

Being In BUSINESS - The Feminine Dimension at Work
We welcome Schuyler Brown and Lucy Chung Thursday, January 16th from 7–9pm for an amazing workshop on bringing femininity to our careers.
A truly healthy work environment is vital, generative, and inviting for a variety of people and perspectives. For many of us, this is the opposite of our day-to-day work experience. What’s missing is the presence of the feminine dimension: that relational energy that restores balance, nourishes, and offers wisdom beyond reason.
What we're talking about is not gender specific. All of us hold within us the masculine and feminine and everything in between. We're talking about knowing and including the feminine pole more explicitly and intentionally in our work.
This will be an evening of dialogue and experiential learning around the challenges and delights of bringing the feminine dimension to our work. Belly (www.thatsbelly.com) co-founders, Schuyler and Lucy, will share their experience with corporate clients; offer advice on creating truly inclusive culture; and touch on the role of empathy and deep listening in shifting the way we work.
This event is open to people of all genders.

Her early career was spent learning the ropes at some of the best branding and advertising agencies in the world including Landor Associates and Havas Worldwide.

She has become a pioneer in the world of conscious commerce and social innovation; and has worked with leading global brands such as Facebook, Microsoft, Levi’s, and the Ford Foundation on innovation, communications, and organizational transformation.

Class description:
The intention of this Meditation and Mindfulness Movement practice is to involve your mind/being on experiences through asanas, sensations, sounds, and breath in the present moment. It is the act of paying attention to whatever you are experiencing with an open heart and without judgement.
By choosing to turn your attention away from the chatter of the mind to what your body is doing, the mind is able to gently quiet with practice and as a result deepen connections with oneself and others as well as build inner strength to move through life with more grace and ease.

Shamanic Healing w/ David Dormon
Then the practitioner prepares themselves for the session, usually in a silent, meditative state, by calling on their allies and helping spirits, as well as the patient’s, to begin to receive information and instructions about what is needed in that particular healing.
Depending on the guidance they receive they may take any number of approaches to the healing, using a variety of shamanic tools for the job. This typically includes some combination of feathers, rattles, drums, tobacco, crystals, bells, essential oils, as well as light touching and/or massage. Commonly the practitioner will sing, whistle, or hum traditional healing songs during the session. Since most issues come from energy becoming “stuck” somewhere in the body, the most common approach is to use these tools and techniques to restore the flow and movement of energy throughout the body.
The effects of a shamanic healing vary from session to session. They are often quite powerful, and a noticeable shift may take place during or directly after the session. The effects can also be more subtle, and take longer to integrate, sometimes days or weeks, allowing you to heal in a more gentle and natural way that you may notice physically, or through changing attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and desires.
David Dormon is a trained shamanic healing practitioner who has been working with the Power Path School of Shamanism in Santa Fe, NM, since 2010. He has also trained with the Shipibo tribe in the upper Amazon, as well as the Huichol in Mexico. He runs Home Sweet Healing, a private healing practice in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. David brings great joy, humor, warmth, and sensitivity to his practice as he works with clients from all walks of life to restore, realign, and reconnect them to their hearts and to their higher selves.

The Art Of Self Practice Workshop with Naomi Annand
January 30th 7pm
We welcome Naomi Annand to JL Wellness for a wonderful evening!
The art of self-practice: A workshop with Naomi Annand
To celebrate the release of her book, Yoga: a Manual for Life. Naomi is offering a free workshop to energise and inspire our community to self-practice as the perfect self-care tool.
This workshop will begin with a discussion. You will then work through a work-sheet where with guidance you’ll write a sequence that you will then practice.
This workshop is for anyone who practices yoga.
As a species we’re capable of remarkable acts of compassion and forgiveness. Extending kind-heartedness to strangers, going the extra mile for those we love. Too often though we don’t extend this empathy to ourselves, acting always as our own worst critics and forgetting to attend to ourselves. In order to start turning this compassion inwards, we need to make space for self-care, making sure we are able to check-in, relax, breathe.
We live in world obsessed with goals and measurable outcomes. It’s like we’ve been hoodwinked into this never-ending competition. With other people, but mostly with ourselves.
Too often, modern yoga gets caught up in this and is taught as if it’s a work out, just another way to chase the illusion of the perfect self. But the whole point of the practice is that it’s not exercise, it’s a celebration of who you are, as you are.
The Slow Food movement changed how we eat. The Slow Yoga movement can change how we move. It can change how we live, guiding us always back into the present. Because moving slowly isn’t easier than moving fast, it’s harder. It requires greater concentration, total focus.
Imagine how it might feel to practice if you were on the moon? Imagine the attention you’d pay to everything; the skilful placing of your foot and the focused smile, the conscious effort to embrace new possibilities, new ways of being.
Don’t be put off by this, embrace it. Notice how your mind will initially resist this kind of studied deliberation but smile at the thought with recognition and respect and then come back to your breath and notice how it very slowly guides your body into the next shape.
When you move slowly, you get away with nothing; your body reveals itself to you as it is. And this basis of an honest conversation with yourself, the only kind worth having.
This is a FREE event and open to all!
